Thoughts on Parsley as a boys' name??

I know it could sound ridiculous, but it occured to me a couple of weeks ago and for some reason it's really grown on me? I just love how natural and sensitive it sounds.

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Terrible!!

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 05/08/2018 19:11

Call him Coriander? Or James...

Lynne1Cat · 05/08/2018 19:11

No, it's terrible and ridiculous. He'd be bullied and ridiculed his whole life.

ResurrectedGoldfish · 05/08/2018 19:11

Good god no. Please don’t call your child Parsley.

ignatiusjreilly · 05/08/2018 19:11

If you go on to have more children, how about Sage, Rosemary and Thyme?

Pregnancy hormones have addled your brain. Parsley is a completely ridiculous name - unless your a Guineas pig.

It's a fine name for a lion.

HeyDolly · 05/08/2018 19:09

The name Paprika has more of a kick to it imo.

Sessy19 · 05/08/2018 19:09

Im pretty open minded when it comes to unusual names, and I’m a fan of names inspired by nature...but I’d find this a bit of a stretch tbh. I’m not sure why, because Basil wouldn’t raise an eyebrow in me. But Parsley I just can’t come to I’m afraid...

MercianQueen · 05/08/2018 19:08

Only if he's a lion

I prefer Oregano

Nanasueathome · 05/08/2018 19:08

May be......

chicken75 · 05/08/2018 19:08

please don't op

LaContessaDiPlump · 05/08/2018 19:07

What?! No. Seriously, just no.

Nanasueathome · 05/08/2018 19:07

I may actually lost for words but am watching this thread to see what response you get

TheNavigator · 05/08/2018 19:07

As you stated, it sounds ridiculous. This is another human being you are naming, remember, not just your cute accessory.

Slatternsdelight · 05/08/2018 19:07

A comedian eh?
